PAS NetWare Print Server - Version 2.5 build 1415
PAS Version and Compatibility
The NetWare Print Server add-on requires PAS 2.5 (EE) build 1076 or greater.
The Secure Document Release (SDR) add-on is not available for NetWare and does not function
with NetWare printers.
Requirements
• NetWare 5.0 - SP6a is the minimum required Support Pack.
• NetWare 5.1 - SP3 is the minimum required Support Pack.
• NetWare 6.0
Installation
Several new files have been added that are not
mentioned in the installation instructions of the
Installation Guide PAS25-NetWareInstall.pdf. The file
containing the install files incorporates the sub-folder
structure required on the NetWare server making it
more obvious where each file should be placed.
File Location
All PAS files except those in the System and
Public\Win32 folders can be installed any other volume
and folder such as NDPS:\SM_PAS (the default is
SYS:\SM\). The SM_Cfg.ini file permits you to specify
the volume and root folder where you install files
currently found under the SM folder.
For New Installations
1. Map a drive to the SYS: volume on the NetWare
server.
2. Extract the files to the mapped drive. This will copy
all required files to their appropriate subfolders.
3. Edit the Autoexec.ncf file to add LOAD
NWExHand.nlm command to immediately before
the LOAD SMRemote.nlm command.
4. Read the configuration instructions in the Installation
Guide PAS25-NetWareInstall.pdf.

Known Issues with PAS Client Billing
• Workstations must be running the following version of the Novell Client software:
WinNT/2000 requires 4.81 or 4.83 with SP1, WinXP requires 4.83 with SP1,
Win95/98/ME requires 3.30 or 3.31 (3.32 is not compatible with Client Billing – you will
not be able to create new NDPS or Queue-based printers on the client).
Win95/98/ME requires 3.30 or 3.31 (3.32 is not compatible with Client Billing – you will
not be able to create new NDPS or Queue-based printers on the client).
• Upgrading to a newer version of the Novell Client software may require that you uninstall
and then re-install the Client Billing print providers. In some cases you may have to
uninstall the provider files before you upgrade.

sites do not install this component because it requires that additional Client Access
Licenses (CALs) be purchased from Microsoft. This requirement has been dropped in
PAS 2.5.2.

Changes since previous release
Installation and Configuration
• Added a new file SMPCE.NLM that resides in the SM folder on the Netware server. It is
auto-loaded by SMAcnt.NLM. SMPCE was extracted from SMAcnt to make the software
more modular. This permits page-counting changes and enhancements to be distributed
in the same way as its Windows counterpart, SMPCE.dll.

Problems Corrected
subsequent abend.
• NDPS LPR print jobs would record but not print for some printers.
• Could not use multiple printer server objects for queue-based printing.
• Fixed NDPS issue where SMRemote.NLM would fail to load if NWPSRV.NLM could not
be loaded. NWPSRV is only required for queue-based printing and must be loaded
before SMRemote.
